[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2274618, member: 401801"] Never thought I'd actually recommend metformin, as I passionately hate the stuff, but.... That's exactly what it's for. It doesn't do anything about what you eat, so wouldn't be able to replace fast acting insulin, but the Lantus... Maybe... Met keeps your liver from dumping up to 75% of the glucose it'd otherwise pump into your bloodstream in the morning. Mind you, fasting blood sugars are the last to come down on a low carb diet, so it could well be half a year or a year before a low carb/keto diet would impact that much... But some see results sooner. Considering your pre and postprandials in the evening, I think it'll come down sooner rather than later, actually. Worth a shot. As long as you're not seeing double digits, I'd say, experiment? [/QUOTE]
